Any reccomendations on where to buy ceramic pads?
Was leaning towards Akebono's but I'm open to other brands. Low dust and low $$$ spent are more important to me over stopping performance.

Going on a set of OEM's from Parts.com.

Thanks in advance guys.

They are inexpensive enough, just get front and back. I changed my rotors too.

From what I understand, the main thing is that there is much less brake dust!

BlackCard, where did you get your rotors?

Just installed new rotors and Akebono Euro Ceramic pads a month ago. Absolutely no dust! The car gets dirty before the wheels do. A little less initial bite but better than stock overall.

Rockauto.com: Cheapest I could find them.

Thanks for bringing that up, I had to dig around to find the info, but I have it saved now! ;-) AKB - Tire Rack $265 f/r shipped. Primepartssuperstore $140 F ea $70 r ea. (these are factory rotors with MB labels on it. search on E55 not CLS55, which is the p30 rotors)

Hope this post is no violation, just a fellow mb guy passing on some savings.

Surprised you guys like Akebono over Semi-Metallic. Just wax your rims and there should be no dust.

The Akebono braking is rubbish compared to OEM and good old metallic.

Interesting you say that. AUSE55 replaced his OEM with Akebono and remarked to me how much better that car stops now. I thought they were better than OEM too.
